Had a good interaction with a very talented actor and the gem of our Telugu cinema, Jr NTR in Hyderabad.

అత్యంత ప్రతిభావంతుడైన నటుడు మరియు మన తెలుగు సినిమా తారక రత్నం అయిన జూనియర్ ఎన్టీఆర్‌తో ఈ రోజు హైదరాబాద్‌లో కలిసి మాట్లాడటం చాలా ఆనందంగా అనిపించింది.@tarak9999 pic.twitter.com/FyXuXCM0bZ

Shah tweeted following the meeting. However, the meeting's political undertone has piqued everyone's interest. Shah is in town campaigning for his party, the BJP, in advance of the impending by-election.

It was a pleasure meeting you and having a delightful interaction @AmitShah ji. Thanks for the kind words. https://t.co/Hrn33EuRJh

said Tarak in response to the Home Minister's post on Twitter. Jr NTR's performance in SS Rajamouli's period actioner RRR has received universal acclaim. His persona was inspired by the legendary Telugu tribal chieftain Komaram Bheem. Tarak's performance has piqued the interest of Hollywood critics as well as Indian audiences. Variety has claimed that RRR and Jr NTR might receive India's first Oscar nomination in the previous 21 years. With RRR's growing popularity, many, including Anurag Kashyap, believe the Rajamouli-directed film has a good chance of breaking India's Oscar drought.
